"Whaa?"
Blake was taken aback by the cold, androgynous voice. He looked around him but he found no one, "I'm too sane to hear auditory hallucinations, so who is pranking me?"
As he warily inspected his surrounding, he was about to resume his walk but the same voice announced its presence once again.
[Host is currently talking to the System, host's psyche is incapable to hear other voices except for his own]
"Great I've finally gone insane, I thought it would take longer though. Anyway, a new roommate ain't that bad, what's your name funny guy and what are you?" said Blake mockingly as he went to sit in a nearby bench.
[The system was created in order to assist, advice, and make its host grow stronger]
As the disembodied voice answered Blake's question, multitude of thoughts appeared in his mind, 'What could have made that voice appear in my mind, I've read a few novels with system tags a little late at night but I don't think people develop schizophrenia or something like that just by reading books. And I didn't take any drugs either. Overall I'm a very healthy man taking care of his body. Yes, certainly not crazy.'
[The System confirms to host's that he is not crazy... at least not crazy enough to hear imaginary voices]
"I feel slightly insulted and wait, did you just hear what I was thinking?"
[Affirmative]
"... Anyways, I'm curious about you my cliche friend system. Let's say I believe you, what is your origin and why me?" Blake asked in amusement
[Host's authority is too low to know such information, System advices host to grow stronger]
"Acting all mysterious for a voice in my head. Tell me, was I some kind of saint in my previous life and a god decided to reward me or something?
[...]
"Oh I got it did I perhaps find the cure to cancer and the deity simped on me and was like 'Blake is too handsome and cool, waa I regret not giving you a better start at life my boy, but take this system, it will help you becoming stronger and more cool, waa.'"
[...]
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
As Blake kept rambling on and making fun of the supposedly system, the disembodied voice stayed silent.
"What's wrong, why the sudden silence, cat got your tongue?" Said a smug Blake as he was constantly bombarding the invisible voice with absurd questions and theories"
"Wait do you even have a gend-"
[Update succesful, Host can now access the System's feature by willing it]
[Host can access his profile by speech or thought]
[System advices host to try by willing the word 'profile']
"Profile?" Repeated an amused Blake.
But then what he saw made his eyes nearly pop out of his eye sockets; a blue and seemingly virtual interface appeared in front of him, his eyes widening further as he looked at the floating panel. Before him stood rows of description for multiple attributs like the ones in video games, all of them orderly displayed and showing Blake's average stats.

Blake could not clearly think at the moment, his mental capacity fully working to find a logical explanation at what he was seeing, while also thinking about the different implications of having a system.
"I-I don't think visual hallucinations are this realistic. Damn, did they put something strange in my milk?"
[Negative]
[No strange chemicals detected in host's body]
"Oh ok, does that mean God actually exist? God, and I've called him a simp. Hey system, what's the name's religion and how do I pray to him, should I watch more anime to pay tributes to him and ask for forgiveness or something?" The poor Blake seemed to have lost it; his body shuddered from time to time and the twisted smile in his face grew further as he talked. And anyone who looked at him would be able to see a crazed look as he stared at the seemingly empty air.
[...]
[Host has no need for such things, nor any deity as host can become infinitely stronger with the System]
"Are you trying to comfort me? If that's the case, you're very bad at it." Blake chuckled with amusement, unaware that his body stopped trembling, and his gaze which was terrifying enough to make a baby cry reverted back to its normal, bored expression.
"Alright, I'm not particularly sure if all of this is real, and I don't really care anymore. Just tell me one thing... can I really become infinitely stronger? Can I break past human's limitations? Can I become a... god?" Blake looked at the empty air with expectation and a blazing determination in his eyes.
There was a brief silence before the usually cold, mechanical System answered, however Blake felt like the words coming from the voice had some... kind of warm to it.
[Affirmative]
[The system was created in order to assist, advice, and make its host grow stronger]
[Therefore, host can be assured, the System can make host's desires a reality]
"Hahahaha!!" A maniacal laugh leaved Blake's mouth as his eyes turned crescent moon. His display of insanity scaring passersby as they distanced themselves from the lunatic.
And at this moment, a flame was ignited in the deepest part of Blake's soul. A chaotic, swirling, burning fire that will incinerate anyone and anything that will try to extinguish it!!
